I’ve got a planet in my pocket

I’ve got a planet in my pocketRadio in my headI am surfing misdirected waves of the living and the deadThere are saints in every quarterAnd a sunspot in the skyOr maybe it’s just a forgotten worldEmbedded in my eye

I’ve got a cloud inside my mindscapeIt’s bigger than the worldInvisible to you and meBecause it’s more that what we are

I’m looking for some missing cardsIn the stacked deck that is my lifeThere are too many jokers and not enough queensToo many clubs but not enough scenesLucy fell out of the sky, bounced three timesRed diamonds sounding like wind chimesAs they rattled down the drainI look to where my heart should beBut there is just a spade
